I think that people give shows like the walking dead too much shit for having dumb characters when people in real life are far stupider

Yeah that can be annoying, but it's also rust's greatest strength, no other game can match the intense rush you get during a fight in rust. and for more casual players there is modded servers with more plentify loot.

 

the new vine swinging and climbable trees gives the game's combat in forests a lot more depth than it had. I'm just sad nobody is playing the primitive mode now, since it would have been perfect for the jungles

they've been doing this for a long time. the issue you are having is the reason I keep bitlocker disabled on my desktop. on devices that can be stolen I still use it.

not rage bait, genuinely asking because thus far i've only heard of other "computer nerds" using Lemmy in any capacity.

My dad looks at Reddit for advice on fixing our washing machine and similar stuff. And I've got friends that use it as a slightly more text-based pinterest

yeah, there's a decent amount of people that use Reddit's popular subs that aren't terminally online.

a nerd. I'm just wondering because I'd like it know if any normal people are leaving Reddit to use Lemmy. doesn't look like it.

well that's just sad, really terrible to see one of my favorite bands doing this. I'll probably replace the attached album art in my FLACs with a screenshot of my mordhau character.

I wouldn't have any actual problems doing the dual boot itself, its just that I don't want to deal with not having my data synced between operating systems

 

just wondering cause that would be sad

This game looks almost exactly like a game I used to play called "Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure".

 

I bought the Womier RD75 Pro a couple of months ago, and although It's been great as a first "real" mechanical keyboard for me, the switches are very slightly scratchy, and even though I almost never notice it, I would like a slightly more premium typing experience. I'm trying not to go over 50 dollars for a set of switches for it, any recommendations?

And while I'm at it, have any of you bought this keyboard as well?

 

Well I feel like a real idiot right now, I've played stalker anomaly for a long time now. And because I like a stutter free, high refresh rate experience. I hadn't used the graphics upgrade mod. Well my dumb ass didn't fully read through the description, and it turns out it actually increases your performance..

Sure enough I booted up stalker anomaly with the screen space shaders mod, and the game runs a little better than it did. and looks like an AAA game from 2018.

I dunno if any of you play stalker anomaly, but don't skip over this mod.

 

Is there any retro consoles that you never lived up to their potential? where the games fell short of the hardware?.

Personally I feel that the NDS was under-utilized, as it was a fully 3d capable console, that was used mostly for 2d pixel art games, and platformers. When it was able to support full 3d platformers and even a fan remake of portal.

 

Thanks to Wiimmfi, Modded Wii's and any DS can still play online. even using Dolphin or MelonDS.

I really loved stalker 2 but between the blood suckers that take 4 mags to kill, and crashes and corrupted save files. I had enough and I'm back to playing anomaly. anyone else?

 

I'm a junior in highschool and will be graduating next year, and the degree that makes the most sense to me is computer science. I've always loved using and tinkering with technology, and learning about it when I can.

I've taken the CS50p course as an introduction to coding, and have really enjoyed the problem solving nature of programming. I just don't know what the industry is like, and people keep saying the job market for CS majors is terrible. so I'm not 100% sure that a computer science degree would be right for me. any advice?

update: I've gotten a lot of good advice from comments and have decided to start a personal project of some sort, to test the waters and see if this is something I can do and enjoy as a hobby outside the CS50p course. thanks to everyone who responded!

I've tested it in several games and had good results, especially in those that are CPU bound and vary in frame rate a lot. below are my qualitative results from different games. My monitor is 180hz 1440p, frame gen is on it's default settings, and when using fixed mode I cap my fps at 90.

Teardown: Keeps the game looking smooth even when doing higher amounts of destruction, looks better than a fixed multiplier because of the high variability of the game's performance depending on the situation.

Helldivers 2: Slightly worse artifacting, also slightly smoother when in extreme situations with lots of enemies on screen. I prefer a fixed multiplier because of the lower artifacting, but its honestly about the same.

GTA V Enhanced: For some reason adaptive frame gen gives me unplayable levels of input lag in GTA 5, and unstable frame rates, whereas a fixed multiplier works fine.

Noita: the exact same.

anyone else have thoughts on this update, or lsfg in general?
